True  Time. 


Two  kinds  of  time  are  used  in  Almanacs  ;  clock  or  mean 
time  in  some,  and  apparent  or  sun-time  in  others.  Clock- 
time  is  always  right,  while  Sun-time  varies  every  dai 
pie  generally  suppose  it  is  twelve  o'clock  when  the  Bun 
18  due  south',  or  at  a  properly  made  noon-mark.  Hut  this 
is  a  mistake.  The  sun  is  seldom  on  the  meridian  at  12 
o'clock  ;  indeed  this  is  the  ease  only  on  four  Jays  of  the 
year:  namely.  April  15,  June  15,  Sept.  1  anrl  Pee.  24.  In 
this  AJrrfunac,  the  time  used  is  clock-time.  The  time  when 
the  sun  is  on  the  meridian  or  at  the  noon-mark  is  also 
given  to  the  nearest  second  in  the  "Concise  Equation  Ta- 
ble," on  page  third  of  this  Almanac,  This  affordi 
dy  means  of  obtaining  correct  time  ami  for  setting  a 
clock  by  using  a  noon-mark,  adding  or  .subtracting  as  the 
sun  is  slow  or  fast. 

old  fashioned  Almanacs,  which  use  apparent  tim< 
the  rising  and  setting  of  the  sun's  centre  and  mi 
allowance  for  the  eflec1  of  refraction  of  the  sun's  i 
the  atmosphere.    The  more  modern  and  improved  Al- 
manacs, which  use  clock-time   give  the  rising  and  set- 
ting of  the  sun's  upper  limb,  and  duly  allow  for  refrac- 
tion.   See  table  page  third. 


Never  speak  ill  of  any  one,  on  any  pretence  whatever.
